Monita's Bakery - Gardendale, Alabama

This was my first time trying a donut from this bakery. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of donuts and cake slices. They offered traditional flavors, and unique ones as well. The donuts were fresh! They did however taste different from other donut chains. The donuts tasted homemade. Prices are fair. I did however take a point away due to the staff having expired chocolate cake slices from 2/24! I was really looking forward to trying the cake. I respect the worker for being honest with me, and letting me know that it was expired! She immediately pulled all the expired slices from the counter. Paying attention to details is very important! I came in around 9 am and was the only customer so there's no excuse as to why such an important detail was over looked! I know everyone makes mistakes, but food safety is extremely important.

Ordered gluten free doughnuts for my mom for Mother’s Day. Asked for “Happy Moms Day” doughnuts with floral and pastel. Not super happy with the decoration since I placed my order a week in advance, but I should’ve been more specific. I was told to come before 12 on Saturday and got there around 9 AM and my order wasn’t ready. However, the doughnuts tasted amazing and I was glad to be able to give my mom doughnuts she could eat for Mother’s Day. Would def come back and buy regular doughnuts instead of doing something custom.

All I can say is WOW! I ordered a dozen custom donuts (I forgot to take a pic, but they were so cute - pastels with flowers) Monday afternoon for a Wednesday morning pick. The ordering process was quick & easy, and my experience was lovely. I can’t lie, I’m pretty picky with donuts and took a leap of faith based on other reviews and the Instagram page - SO glad I did! These were the freshest, cutest, tastiest pastries I’ve ever ordered and can’t recommend Monita’s enough! I’ll 100% be back to order more for Father’s Day and birthdays. 🙂

The donuts are always so creative and delish. Most importantly, the owners and staff are so nice to me! I love grabbing a dozen to brighten an offices day.

I can’t believe I’ve somehow missed this little honey hole of greatness. I was craving donuts and didn’t want to make the drive to get the other place. I randomly came across Grateful Donuts around 9:30 am. Thinking their selection would be little I called ahead. To my surprise they were fully stocked. I bought a 2 variety dozen and a couple more. It was hard to choose with so many interesting choices. The employees were extremely kind and very patient while I tried to make my choices. If you’ve not stopped by or driven through (yes, they also have a drive through), may I suggest you do. It’s really worth it! Wow! They were absolutely delicious.

An extraordinary custom cake experience! I recently had the pleasure of ordering a custom cake from this amazing bakery, and I couldn't be more delighted. From the moment I shared my vision, the bakery team showcased unparalleled creativity and unwavering commitment.

The cake they created exceeded all my expectations. Each layer was perfectly baked, and the filling and frosting were a heavenly combination of flavors. What truly impressed me was the attention to detail in the decoration. The cake faithfully reflected my vision with astonishing precision. Every ornament, color, and texture was meticulously placed, resulting in an edible masterpiece.

The personalized service I received was exceptional. The bakery team attentively listened to my ideas, provided expert suggestions, and ensured that every aspect of my order was flawless. Their dedication and professionalism made the entire process seamless and enjoyable.

I wholeheartedly recommend this bakery to anyone seeking a custom cake that surpasses all expectations. The level of skill, attention to detail, and passion for their craft is evident in every creation. If you're looking for a unique and memorable cake for any special occasion, this is definitely the place to go.

A big thank you to the bakery team for making my event truly unforgettable. I will undoubtedly return to you for future custom orders!

My partner and I come here regularly and it's always amazing! The doughnuts are delicious, we're always greeted promptly, the employees are always so kind, and their hot chocolate and coffee is wonderful! There's always a large selection of amazing doughnut flavors and varieties, and they have gluten free options as well! They do wonderful custom orders too!
